Christmas Fun

So December was absolutely crazy this year! We started finishing our basement the last week of November and had it done on Dec 23.
My Grandpa Randall passed away the week before Christmas . Me and Brandon went to Arizona for the funeral. It was nice to see all of my family that lives down there. It was so cute when they closed my Grandpas casket at the funeral Brandon said "Go to sleep" and then at the burial he was like "night night Grandpa". After the funeral my Grandma was sitting in her room by herself and Brandon went up to her and held her hands and said" its ok Grandma, Grandpa is sleeping now." After that he never said anything about the funeral. I am grateful for my Grandpa and the life he lived he was a good man.

When I got home on the 22nd and my Family was coming the 24th to stay at our house so it was nice to be able to have the house pulled together for Christmas, and have a place for everyone to sleep!

I love this time of year, but I am definitely glad to start the New Year!

The tree and house look STUNNING in these pictures, as usual! Hostess with the Mostest, I want to come stay in your new basement suite! Or maybe I'll stay upstairs in your bed with you and Dave can have the basement? Brandon looks like he had fun building that gingerbread house. He is such a sweetheart, I love reading about the things he says. Such a grown up now. Xxox
